“The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.”
King James Version (KJV)
5:1 Sons of Israel - This is added emphatically, because theywere treated as if they had been the immediate sons of Jacob.Not reckoned - This is the second reason, which sheweth both whyReuben's genealogy was not first mentioned; and if another tribe wasto be ranked before it, why that was Judah, and not Joseph, becausethe order of their genealogy was not to be ruled by the birthright,but by an higher privilege, which was given to Judah.
5:2 Judah - Not the person, but the tribe of Judah.Prevailed - Excelled the other tribes, especially in the followingprivilege.
The sonnes, I say, of Reuben the first borne of Israel were: Hanoch, and Pallu, Ezron, and Carmi.
